You can change it through the hole in the Pelfrey skid but expect a shitload of oil to be dumped on the inside of the skid. I did it once like that. Now I just remove the skid, change oil, and wipe it down. I was going to install a Fumoto valve but the last time I went offroading, my truck spent a lot of time with the truck's weight supported by the skids. After that I decided not to.

 

You guys know a good muffler shop I can get the exhaust rerouted I ordered the rear skid that's for a reroute and possible cost?

 

As far as cost..no idea...but RAD Motorsports (located in Waipahu) does good exhaust work and is quite a bit less than going to Exhaust Systems Hawaii..just my .02

 

I was just thinking about them...thanks

 

Rajah! Decided to buy new rims for now lol. Next is racks so I'm just curious. Now I know would be better to buy online

 

I got rims for sale... 19x9.5 +22 offset... Wrapped in good year eagles less than 2k on them

 

If Deezy is taking his skids off to change his oil...he's got too much time on his hands... The Fumoto valve is recessed enough that it won't interfere with the skids nor be in danger of hitting anything. This pic is with the Pelfrey skid. Valve and some 3/8" ID tubing and your done with Oil change in 10 minutes. No tools required except hands...

 

Anybody down for a Kaena point run this Saturday or Sunday?? Cousin in town from Washington and wants to take a ride out there.

 

Third gen'ers are screwed. Oil filter is accessed from below.

 

No kidding... Adding Armor's gonna make it a bitch to get to it...

 

Well yeah, if the only thing that touches your skid is a little weed stem from a dirt road, then yeah, won't be in danger of hitting anything.

 

The valve nipple is more than an 1 1/2" up inside from the skid surface. You would have to take a direct hit from a pointed object at the hole to get to it. Not saying that couldn't happen but unlikely. Even if you rested the weight of the truck on the skid I don't think it would flex that distance to the nipple without the plate collapsing...and then you'd be f'd no matter what...

 

Oops. too late.

 

So clean and pretty!...

 

Alum skid is easy peasy to drop by yourself. It's not a hard like squint is making it out to be. My two kids will be able to drop the skids by themselves soon.

 

Of course. No time to go play. Only work work work to pay off the truck.

 

Not hard...convenience...

 

Hard is removing my wheels that weigh almost 100lbs each...

 

Going need some big kids.

 

I'll give you that one.
